A
STANDBY/ON button
Press this to turn the unit on or put it into standby mode.
After turning the unit on, the power indicator will blink blue and
no sound will be output for a few seconds. Wait until the indica-
tor stops blinking and stays lit.
o Since this unit has a large power transformer and capacitors,
the power transformer might make noise for a short time
after the unit is turned on. This is normal behavior, not a
malfunction.
B
Power indicator
This lights blue when the unit is on.
A
SOFTWARE maintenance port
This is used for maintenance. Do not connect anything to this
port unless instructed to do so by our service department.
B
LED brightness adjustment knob
Use this to adjust the brightness of the power indicator.

TRIGGER connectors
Use these connectors to control power from an external source.
Do not connect anything to these connectors when not using
them.
D
Input selection switch
Use this to switch between the RCA, XLR and ESL-A inputs.
V
Do not change this when the unit is on. Doing so
could result in a sudden loud noise that could harm
your hearing or damage the connected speakers.
E
AUTO POWER SAVE switch
Use this to turn the automatic power saving function on and off.
When the automatic power saving function is on, if there is no
audio input (continuous silence) from the selected input source
for 30 minutes, the unit will enter standby mode automatically.
o The input sources that are not selected have no effect on
automatic power saving.
F
AC power inlet (~IN)
Connect the supplied power cord to this AC inlet.
After completing all other connections, plug the power plug
into a power outlet.
V
Use only a genuine ESOTERIC power cord. Use of
other power cords could result in fire or electric
shock.
V
Disconnect the power plug from the outlet if you
will not use the unit for a long time.
G
Holes for power cord support bracket screws
Attach the power cord support bracket to these (page 7).
H
SIGNAL GND grounding terminal
Using commercially-available sheathed wire (for example, PVC-
insulated) to create grounded connections with the speakers,
the preamplifier or other equipment might improve the sound
quality.
o This is not a safety grounding terminal.
I
Analog input connectors
Connect these to the analog output connectors of preamps.
Set the input selection switch to choose the connector to use.
Use commercially-available cables for connections.
RCA: RCA cable
XLR, ESL-A: balanced XLR cables
Insert a balanced XLR plug until the connector lever locks. Press
this lever and pull the plug out to disconnect.
o The XLR connector is 2 "HOT". Use a compatible cable.
o Insert the plug completely. Do not bundle these cables
together with power cords or speaker cables. Doing so could
degrade the sound quality or cause noise.
